Old Donkov
The name of the city comes from the ancient city of
Donkov, which was part of the Ryazan principality, which was burned by
the Mongol-Tatars. Now the village of Streshnevo, Dankovsky district, is
located on that place.
Old Dankov was a fortress that carried out
defensive service to protect the borders of the first Ryazan
principality, and then the borders of the Moscow state from the Crimean
and Nogai Tatars. Next to the fortress was the first pier on the Don,
from where merchants sent their carts to Azov, Kafa, Constantinople.
In 1521, the city was completely destroyed and burned by the hordes
of the Crimean Khan Makhmet Giray.
New Dankov
According to
written sources, the modern settlement existed in 1568, when Prince
Vladimir Konstantinovich Kurlyatev and the boyar son Grigory Stepanovich
Sidorov were sent to Dankov to "establish cities".
The city,
surrounded by wooden walls, with its advantageous strategic position,
more than once became an insurmountable obstacle in the way of foreign
hordes. The servants who guarded the fortress - archers, Cossacks,
gunners - settled near the fortress, and in their free time they were
engaged in agriculture.
The border service in the fortress was
conducted steadfastly and regularly. And yet the city was repeatedly
burned by the Tatars. At the end of the 17th century, Tatar raids
ceased. The defensive value of Dankov is falling. Losing the appearance
of a city - a fortress, it turns into a city of artisans and merchants.
Imperial period
For fifty years the city of Dankov was listed in
the Voronezh province, since 1778 Dankov has been a county town.
In 1804 it received the status of a county town; Dankovsky district was
formed as part of the Ryazan province.
There were no longer any
military fortifications. In the pre-revolutionary period, the city was
famous for its fairs, where they traded horses, cattle, agricultural
products, handicrafts and factory production.
In the 19th
century, Dankov was a fairly large bread trading center. Its economic
importance is growing, which is facilitated by the construction of a
railway to the city and the construction of an elevator in 1890. Stone
two-story houses of wealthy merchants appeared. In 1909, a private
women's gymnasium was opened, and in 1912, a state-owned men's
gymnasium. The city also had hospitals, male and female elementary
schools, a religious school, a library, a noble-merchant club and a
small cinema.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Dankov was
one of the centers of revolutionary propaganda. From here agitators went
to villages and villages, revolutionary leaflets were sent out.
1905 - 1907 were marked by mass peasant uprisings, unrest on the
territory of the county.
In the spring of 1915, during the First
World War, the 470th Dankovsky Infantry Regiment was formed. The 470th
Dankovsky Regiment was one of the first to be sent to the front as part

battles in the Baltic, as well as in the defense of the land sector of
the Moonsund Archipelago in 1917.

Front, and from December 18, 1941 - to the newly formed Bryansk Front.

defensive fortifications. All the streets of Dankov on the western side
were blocked off with stone barricades 1.5–2 m high and of the same
width. The stone for these purposes was taken at the rubble plant. Along
the bank of the Don, anti-tank hedgehogs were laid in four rows. The
entire left bank of the Don in the area, from the village of Romanovo to
the village of Begichevo, was pitted with trenches and communication
passages 1.7 m deep. An anti-tank ditch was dug against each ford in the
Don River, where tanks could pass. Anti-tank ditches were also dug in
